Neo-Nazi terrorist and ‘Miss Hitler’ contestant to be freed from jail early

"Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority."

Although she denied being a member of National Action at her trial, jurors were shown messages in which Cutter joked about gassing synagogues, using a Jew’s head as a football, and remarking “Rot in hell, bitch” following the murder of Ms Cox. 

Cutter, a former waitress, attended meetings with group leaders and posed for a Nazi-style salute on the steps of Leeds Town Hall, as well as attempting to recruit a 15-year-old girl.

Footage also emerged of Cutter at a demo for the group in York in 2016, which she initially denied attending, showing her standing with other masked members giving the Nazi salute behind a banner that read “Hitler was right”. 

Cutter was tried alongside her boyfriend Mark Jones, who was jailed for five and a half years, and who was described at trial as a “leader and strategist” within the group and played a “prominent and active role.” 

Founded in 2013 and based in Warrington, National Action is proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000 and is the first far-right group in the UK to be banned since the Second World War. 

Director of public prosecutions Max Hill KC described the group’s members as “diehards” who “hark back to the days of not just antisemitism, but the Holocaust, the Third Reich in Germany.”
